Xu Guofeng was puzzled, "Aren't you taking care of Qianqian now? Where do you find the time to work and earn money?"
"I can earn money online after Qianqian goes to sleep."
Xu Guofeng frowned slightly, "That's not good. Taking care of a child is difficult enough, and earning money on top of that makes it even harder. Doesn't Mengyao give you living expenses every month?"
"If that's the case, I'll have to talk to her."
Lin Chen said, "Uncle Xu, I'm not tired. I don't even work for half an hour a day right now."
Xu Guofeng said, "You probably don't earn much with that little time. I'll still have Mengyao give you some money every month."
Lin Chen shook his head.
"Uncle Xu, it's not necessary."
"I make three to five million a month."
Xu Guofeng was stunned.
"How much did you say?"
Lin Chen: "Five million is no problem in normal circumstances."
His plan was to release a book every month. Not counting the royalties from his older books, the royalties and signing bonus from the new book alone would be six million.
"You're not doing anything illegal, are you?"
Xu Guofeng said with a serious expression.
Working less than half an hour a day and making at least five million a month, he really couldn't imagine a job like that.
Lin Chen shook his head. "It's not anything illegal. I write fairy tales online, and I get royalties from the published books."
Xu Guofeng was stunned.
"Lin Chen, don't tell me you're Lin Yu."
Xu Mengyao had shown him Lin Yu's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Poems, and he knew Lin Yu was a top-tier fairy tale master.
Only Lin Yu could earn so much money from writing fairy tales.
Lin Chen smiled slightly. "Lin Yu is my pen name. The published books, I originally wanted to call them 'Qianqian's Bedtime Stories', but later I didn't want people to notice Qianqian because of it, so I didn't use that name."
"You, you—"
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen, unable to believe it.
Lin Chen was actually the Lin Yu online.
Jiang Xuesong and other calligraphy masters were all very fond of Lin Yu's calligraphy. He himself also thought Lin Yu's calligraphy was incredibly impressive.
Lin Yu's identity was mysterious; there was no information about him online. Xu Guofeng never expected that Lin Chen would be Lin Yu.
"Does Mengyao know you're Lin Yu?"
After a moment, Xu Guofeng asked.
Lin Chen nodded. "She knows Lin Yu is my pen name. She also knows I've made some money writing fairy tales. She offered to give me living expenses before, but I didn't take them."
Xu Guofeng's lips twitched.
"Mengyao knew you were Lin Yu all along, and she kept it from us."
Lin Chen said, "I asked her to keep it a secret. I am Lin Yu, and if this news gets out, it might affect me taking Qianqian out. We'd probably be mobbed everywhere we go."
Xu Guofeng waved his hand.
"You shouldn't have asked her to keep it from us. She just didn't want to say anything herself. I'll have a talk with her later."
"Lin Chen, your calligraphy is actually so strong, and your ability to create fairy tales is also so formidable. You're also very good at basketball. Why didn't you show it before?"
Xu Guofeng was somewhat puzzled.
The results of his investigation showed that Lin Chen was very ordinary.
Perhaps his appearance was the only highlight, but Lin Chen used to dress very plainly, so this highlight was also concealed.
Lin Chen smiled without answering.
He never had this kind of ability before.
"Lin Chen, it's okay if you don't want to talk. Everyone has their own little secrets."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Inside the hospital room.
Yang Qingyue took out some snacks for Lin Xiaoxi; she had asked Xu Guofeng to prepare them before Lin Xiaoxi arrived.
"Xiaoxi, are Mom and Dad doing well?"
Yang Qingyue asked.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded, "Grandma, it's very good. Daddy and Mommy are both healthy and haven't gotten sick."
Yang Qingyue sighed, facepalming.
She must be confused from being sick, asking a child over two years old such a subtle question. How could Lin Xiaoxi understand what she meant?
"Do you sleep with Daddy and Mommy? Did they hug and kiss?"
Yang Qingyue rephrased her question.
Lin Xiaoxi ate her snacks, "Grandma, I haven't slept with Daddy and Mommy yet. Daddy and Mommy are kissing in the room." Yang Qingyue mumbled to herself.
It seemed Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao hadn't made any real progress.
Lin Xiaoxi said they were kissing in the room, but that probably wasn't true. Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao were just trying to trick Lin Xiaoxi.
Knock, knock!
Half an hour later, Lin Chen and the others returned.
"Xiaoxi, we have to go back now."
"We'll come back tomorrow to see Grandpa and Grandma."
Lin Xiaoxi was a little reluctant, but she still said goodbye to Yang Qingyue and the others. Lin Chen carried her and left.
"Honey, Lin Chen and Mengyao probably haven't made any progress. They're probably just putting on a show to fool Xiaoxi into thinking they're in love," Yang Qingyue said.
Xu Guofeng replied, "I actually hope they've made some progress. If there's been no progress at all, Mengyao's psychological trauma might be much more severe than we realize."
Yang Qingyue was puzzled.
"I told you about Lin Yu. Lin Chen is Lin Yu."
"Huh?"
Yang Qingyue was stunned.
She knew Lin Yu, but how could Lin Chen be Lin Yu?
Lin Yu's fairy tale writing and calligraphy were both top-tier.
"Honey, are you sure?"
Xu Guofeng said, "Lin Chen said it himself. Do you think he would intentionally lie to me about something like this?"
Yang Qingyue shook her head.
Lying about this kind of thing was completely pointless.
And it would backfire.
"Honey, that Lin Chen is extremely outstanding. He's so good at creating fairy tales and calligraphy, and he's also amazing at basketball."
Xu Guofeng nodded, "Mengyao knows all this. If she has absolutely no feelings for Lin Chen, do you think her problem might be much more serious than we think?"
Yang Qingyue murmured, "Could they really have been intimate in the room?"
"What?"
Xu Guofeng asked.
"Qianqian said they don't sleep together, but sometimes they close the door and kiss in the room."
"I originally thought they were just putting on a show."
Xu Guofeng suddenly stood up.
He took out the scroll Lin Chen had brought.
Wiping the tea table clean, Xu Guofeng opened the scroll, then unfurled what was inside.
"Hmm?"
Xu Guofeng was stunned.
He thought it was a piece of calligraphy, but it was a painting.
The painting depicted pine trees and cranes.
It was a Pine and Crane Painting, symbolizing longevity and good health.
"Honey, this painting looks pretty good. You know more about this than I do, what do you think of it?"
Xu Guofeng asked.
Yang Qingyue didn't say anything, carefully examining it.
Ten minutes passed.
"Honey."
Xu Guofeng nudged Yang Qingyue, who was lost in thought.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Qingyue asked, puzzled.
Xu Guofeng said, "Honey, what do you think of this painting?"
Yang Qingyue pondered for a moment. "Someone gave my dad a Pine and Crane Painting before. After Dad found out it was worth eighteen million, he quickly returned it."
"I've seen that painting. It's not as good as this one. But that one was by a famous artist and is a cultural relic."
"This one is new."
At this, Yang Qingyue's eyes widened in shock. "Honey, do you think Lin Chen painted this himself?"
Xu Guofeng said, "I suspect so. His calligraphy is so good; there's no need for him to give a gift that isn't his own work."
"We can just call Mengyao and ask."
Xu Guofeng took out his phone as he spoke.
